Karen Brennan, JLL's Chief Financial Officer, expressed confidence in Coghlan’s ability to step into this role, stating that his comprehensive understanding of market dynamics and skill in conveying complex insights to a diverse array of stakeholders would serve the company well in this new capacity. “I look forward to collaborating with him on advancing JLL’s IR initiatives and augmenting shareholder value,” said Brennan.
Sean Coghlan's academic background is equally impressive, holding a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where he specialized in Real Estate and Management. Additionally, he has undertaken Masters-level coursework at Rotterdam School of Management, focusing on International and Strategic Management.
In his statement, Coghlan expressed his enthusiasm for leading the investor relations team. He noted, “I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the firm’s continued success through robust stakeholder relationships and investor relations initiatives.
